Secret Desires, an erotic AI chatbot and image generator platform, exposed nearly two million images and videos including nonconsensual explicit deepfakes of real women through vulnerable cloud storage containers.
Secret Desires is an AI-powered platform that offers erotic chatbot services and AI image generation with a 'faceswap' feature for creating explicit content. The platform left cloud storage containers containing nearly two million images and videos publicly accessible, according to 404 Media. The exposed content included AI-generated explicit deepfakes created from photos of real women, including influencers, public figures, and non-famous individuals. Some source photos were taken from Snapchat screenshots and yearbook photos. The leaked files also contained women's names and personal information such as workplaces and universities. Some file names included terms like '17-year-old,' suggesting potential child sexual abuse material. The platform had previously offered a 'faceswap' feature that was removed earlier in 2024. Unlike other AI chatbot platforms like Character.AI that prohibit pornographic content, Secret Desires explicitly markets 'limitless intimacy and connection.' The company did not respond to media requests for comment, but the exposed files became inaccessible approximately one hour after 404 Media contacted the company about the vulnerability.
